    Thanks for the tips, they are really helpful! This season I tried one right 360 (I spin left) but I didn't land it, and we had to leave after my first attempt, but I didn't get to go skiing again because of corona. But, I have learned opposite corks on my trampoline, so thats good (:

    As someone who learned most of park on a pair of crappy Rossingol race skis and some low end boots in a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt, the first one is questionable, but it will help

    • @BruceOldham
      @BruceOldham  4 роки тому +25

      It will defiantly help, excepcially if you want to take it to the next level and progress faster! I learned on a pair of un centre mounted Rossi's too 😂

      I learned how to drive in a Honda accord. That doesn’t mean it’s faster than a gtr. Learning park on twintips will give you a huge advantage.

    Hey great video man. Really solid advice can’t wait to get into the rest of your content. I remember actually seeing you at Whistler a few times and never really said anything but I’ve been studying a lot trying to learn the mentality for corks this upcoming season. You are definitely right about the spinning both ways too, I used to only spin 3 and below both sides but now when I throw a 7 I sometimes forget what way is my natural spin it’s kind of funny and really handy any time you have to carve into a hip like feature.

    I don’t care about comps at all, and will probably never compete, but just want to progress and throw the best tricks I can, do you think learning right side tricks is super important if my only goal is good left side tricks?
    I haven’t really had a problem with spinning right on rails, feels different somehow, but I am really not sure I could do a right 3 on a jump. Would right spins improve my left side consistency?

      @ A73fn - anything will slide the rail, but a slalom ski or directional ski is sharp, stiff, and made to get a bite on the snow…almost exactly opposite what you want in the park. A twin tip ski will make your experience much more enjoyable, but certainly don’t let a slalom ski stop you from getting in the park and having some fun.

      I’ve had this one go either way…can certainly fire you up and smooth out the rough brain, BUT can also give you the heebie jeebies and take away confidence. It’s a drug, so you never know.

      I think a big healthy smile helps the most. If you’ve already got one, don’t add weed. If you could use some assistance, let er rip.

    when you looking good you feeling good haha
    you have no idea of real self-confidence right? If you look dope, you try to act dope but you only doing 180s - you probably will stay a wannabe freestyler - not dope.
    You can have your mothers ski jacket and your granpas gloves for skiing if you want, when you enter the park bringing an iron cross 360 or even a single backflip, THIS is where you get your self-confidence from..
    Freestyle is not all about outfit dude

      He never said that is what it’s all about. That was merely 1 of about 15 tips he just gave. You just sound pressed because you probably dress like a ski racer.
